Chosen in Christ

Tune: Duke Street

('Fight the good fight')

Ephesians 1 v.3-6

********

God be blessed, He who has us blessed

With His blessings, true, now confessed

Having all spiritual blessings

In Christ, to Him our soul now sings

 

Chosen before the foundation

Of the world, sure, from each nation

That we should holy, blameless be

Before Him in love, here now see

 

And he has too us predestined

To be His sons (/daughters), with no rescind

To be adopted, His children

From among human kith and kin

 

'Tis so we praise His glorious grace

And His mercies here we do trace

By His grace we made accepted

In Christ, in Him, the beloved

    • orchidee

      Thanks N. I'm not keeping a record of the 8's I use in these lines! lol.
      Charles Wesley wrote over 6,000 hymns - or over 8,00 with those not printed included. I'm not near that!

    • Doggerel Dave

      Wot abaut 'Ark the Erald Angels Sung' or summat? I kan sing that one - larned in Sunday school....

      • orchidee

        But it ain't Christmas yet. Some poets will shoot me if I mention Christmas before December. lol.

        • Doggerel Dave

          Sir Orchi Non Sequitur, you will so confuse them that they won't know whether it's Christmas or a wicca fertility rite

          • orchidee

            I'm sure it's Easter next week! lol.

            • Doggerel Dave

              How's your your new tittle going?

              • Goldfinch60

                Andy

                • Doggerel Dave

                  There's no holding him Andy. Could've used an 'X" - although my brother (who's in that business) tells me that just ain't right ...or words to that effect...

                  • orchidee

                    Thanks Gold - and Dave, sneaking in on Andy's reply!

                    • orchidee

                      Me new title of Sir Orchi Non Sequitur is going well. I'm a little confused, cos I'm sure it's Easter next week! Eh?

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        Please note from now on reduced to 'NS' - your title. Think Victoria Cross reduced to 'VC' - go for that one man, become the hero of MPS.......

                        • orchidee

                          One said: Not OBE - that's Other's B*****'s Efforts! Doh!

                        • Cedrick

                          These hymns are always a blessing reading them.

                          • orchidee

                            Thanks C.

                            Notice the hymn in the video? - one we had at KP and my wedding! lol.

                          • Goldfinch60

                            Good one to your wedding song Orchi.
